unfortunately, i've already read what happened. my initial reaction was to do what you did - allin. but the person who pointed out that you are only getting called by a hand that beats you is correct - which is why the options go down to calling or folding.

there are two players left to act. i assume, they are the SB and BB.

are you good enough to fold if either comes over the top of you? if not, then folding is the right option.

the other advantage of calling is it gives you the chance to use the stop and go possibly. kk might fold if you push an A-high flop.
my rank was 25 of 87 I think

The guy on my left is the largest stack


UPDATE: Got booted again from a tourney yesterday using 99 lol. This time I was 22/23 though. Top 13 get paid. Got 99 All-inned, biggest stack called with AJ of-suit and flopped an A.
